Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 26, 2024

Nana Nana, Nana Nana!Hey hey heyNo eyes.

Ok, enough time with the people you haven’t seen in years…we can’t keep your ungrateful, lying, ho waiting. Oh, wait, you haven’t seen her in years, either.

P2.5 “They fed you well at the sweatshop.”

Must…not…make…eye…contact.

P3.5 “Mr Reality, is that you hiding under the front bumper?”

And how did the two dark-haired bucks suddenly appear over the weekend ?

MeMe, say hello to your ex-es.

P 3: “… you too mom… you too Robin… I’m expecting company so beat it…”

P3: Looks like MeMe went on a bender and drove right up to the front door.

P1: is that guy in the scarf Robin, or are Gil and the Gilbot finally sharing a scene?

Just dropping in out of the blue. They could’ve called Gil on his cell phone first. Oh, they probably did and he didn’t know how to answer.

P3- Gilbot signals with his clam digging tool to Mimi that Keri and Jami are ready for departure.

Nana pulls a Tyson on Gil’s ear.

I thought this old bat was supposed to die a while back.

All I could think of was the old commercial: “Is that the boy?! Honking?!!”

Man, this is an awesome sports strip. I can see now why the readership numbers are at unprecedented levels.

Then: “I’ll always be there for you.”Now: Honk! Honk!

Starring James Coburn as Nana.

I’ve been involved with many, many custody disputes. One guy came and said his ex wouldn’t let him have the kid. Turns out he was sending his girlfriend to the door. One time he hid in the bushes, and when the wife said she couldn’t have the kid, he jumped out and yelled “AHA! I’ve got you!”Another called and said the father was leaving the kid with his mother from like 7:45 until school started, when he went to work. She said their court order said “All babysitters must be approved by both parties.” I’m like “She a relative, not a babysitter. Call your lawyer.”We had couples that had to exchange at the PD because they couldn’t get along. Not that that helped…I had a woman bring her son to the station to tell me all the bad things his dad did. The kid said a couple, then turned to her and asked “What were the others?” She was all flabbergasted. I told her I would write it up just how it occurred.

So there’s no hockey game today?

I guess Mimi got along with her in laws just like Gil.

jami says i love the smell of ben gay on nana and the aroma from her diaper

dam says jami i wanted to stay and tug on uncle robins scarf

gil tells nana and robin if i knew you were coming i would have made more hamburger helper

P4: Jami: “Day, was Uncle Robin once Aunt Robin because that would make total sense in this strip. Oh, and was Nana once Grandpa?”

P 2.5 (Nana): “…where’s that old battle-axe, HeeHaw? Did she kick off yet?…I hope so…I’ve never really liked her because she’s been so nasty to my little boy…”

GilBOT replies “Oh, I forgot her at the Baseball Field, will activate recovery program.”

P 4: Kids stand around and BS with old lady and uncle Robin for 15 -20 min, ignoring Emily’s horn honking

P-4: “Honk, honk.” Get on the right track to 9 Mile & Mack, you’ll get the best deal around!; Cuz, Roy O’Brien has the best prices in town!

Mimi whips the car around so they can load Meemaw in the back.

Gonna be a pileup at the front door when Beth pulls up…

Mimi honks for the kids to get out of the way so she can plow into Gil.

Wow, check out that claw on Nana in P2! I see where Gil got his Count Thorpula hands from. And speaking of hands, I’m ready to hand over today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
